Our greatest ability as humans is not to change the world; but to change ourselves.
I am a humble but very earnest seeker after truth.
A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.
Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind.
We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
Namaste. I honour the place in you where the entire universe resides… a place of light, of love, of truth, of peace, of wisdom. I honour the place in you where when you are in that place and I am in that place there is only one of us.
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.
Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.
There is force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.
Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall – think of it, always.
There are two days in the year that we can not do anything – yesterday and tomorrow.
What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.
Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.
Infinite striving to be the best is man’s duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God’s hands.
Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.
